What was the last movie you watched?

We are queuing up the mini series "Masters of the Air" on Apple TV this evening, the clips we've seen make it look pretty good... those poor guys had to have some huge nads to go up in those bombers knowing that their life expectancy was only four missions...
 
Pit stop with Sid Haig. If you’re a 60s B movie fan it’s a must. Felt like I was at the drive in
It’s on YouTube free in its entirety
 
I made my kids watch Flight of the Navigator with me. If I remember, I'm going to make them watch The Last Starfighter, too

I was lucky, my dad took me to see a bunch of totally inapropriate movies when I was a kid. But a friend's dad loved old "Screwball comedies", and anytime one was on TV, he was pretty much forced to watch it, "Give it a chance Tom, you'll like it!". No, he didn't.

A guy I worked with had to sit through Paint Your Wagon endless times, it was the first movie his dad bought for his new VCR, and his dad's all time favorite. I watched it on TV once, just to hear Clint and Lee Marvin sing. Wow. In 1980, I was forced to sit through "Xanadu". That was the last musical I suffered through. The last Rom Com was When Harry met Sally. No more. Girlfriends are just given money to take their friends. I would rather watch 2 hours of the Kardashians than see either of those type of movies.
 
I tried to watch the first "Equalizer" again today, but my fiber optic streaming box hiccupped endlessly and annoyed me to the point of rage.
On Tuesday night, it decided to "lose" Graveyard Cars that I was hoping to watch. It was there in the recorded stuff, and then it wasn't. IF I could figure out a not a huge hassle way to get rid of everything but my internet, and still watch the stuff I want, I would do it in a second. Some upgrade, it's less stable, buffers, loses stuff I recorded, and reboots every so often. It's just bad...
 
I watched "A Bitter Pill" yesterday morning, about a lawyer in WV who was suing the makers and distributors of all the opiates that people were OD'ing on. Just kind of sad, and he ended up losing and the states apparently getting all the money.
 
Gold Diggers of 1935 (1935) Dir: Busby Berkeley. Dick Powell, Adolph Menjou, Gloria Stewart - (who was in Titanic 62 years later!)

Screwball hijinks in an upscale Hotel, culminating in a spectacular Busby Berkeley sequence featuring dozens of moving Pianos, worth seeing for that alone.
